It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Matthew Lillard has responded to Quentin Tarantino’s comments, where the director said he didn’t like him. ‘It’s humbling, and it hurts,” Lillard shared.

You could write this. Or you could write: “That notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.” All how you choose to frame it.

Read #Strongmen and compare with Mussolini quotes on same subjects...

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

With all that's going on, it's nice to have something unabashedly good to talk about. And RCCS - Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society - is definitely that. Cancer sucks. But they do amazing work supporting patients and families, helping them navigate not just treatment but logistics. Please help support it!

@wychstreet.bsky.social You deleted post on QT, Once upon a Time. I had this reply to you written, but then work intruded. 😁 That movie was bad satire. *Period comedy drama* is the genre? 😔 LSD's (acid) combustion point makes smoking null. "🍎" Cigarette Co. ⬅️ 😔 is when I slid back my chair

I came to New Orleans to see the fear and loathing that comes to town when Greg Bovino and his federal masked marauders invade I chronicled their Big Lie, as their op allegedly targeting "criminals" stormed Home Depot parking lots and roofing jobs.

@timmiller.bsky.social 🤔

The problem is not the pardon power. The problem is us. We weren't supposed to elect a crook as POTUS. If we did, the people we elected in Congress are supposed to do something about it. We're idiots, so we've elected crooks & cowards all the way up the line. The problem is us. We need to fix us.

Trump, Miller, Noem, et al, continue to lie that their mass deportations are focused on criminals. That’s not true, a big percentage of people — particularly in blue areas — have no criminal charges. This isn’t a public safety campaign. It’s a xenophobic, racial profiling campaign.

www.inquirer.com/opinion/new-... "This is life during wartime in America in 2025, as an iconic U.S. city that celebrates itself as a boiling gumbo pot of Spanish-style architecture, Louisiana French and spicy Creole culture suddenly finds itself under a terrorizing siege..."

“I really believe that if I didn’t have [my] birth certificate, I would be somewhere in a facility,” one resident said, recalling that one of the armed federal agents who stopped him on the street aggressively asked if he was from Ethiopia or Ghana. With @mlk50.com

I am taking the next few days off from writing to prepare for a Supreme Court argument. If you want to support Democracy Docket during my pause, here is there link. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Do you understand how bad this boat thing is? I can't even joke about it. I joke about EVERYTHING. It's my go to coping mechanism. But I'm seeing people use black humor and it makes me ill.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

This is straight-up murder

I mean, this is an execution

Hi from Rümeysa Öztürk's hearing before Chief Judge Casper in federal court. This is solely scoped to whether her SEVIS record should be restored, i.e. whether she can work and be a student.

I went to New Orleans to see what it looks like when a great American city comes under siege from the government, as masked goons of 'Catahoula Crunch' lie about nabbing bad guys before swarming Home Depot, roofing jobs for folks with brown skin My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/new-...

Here's an excerpt -- please read the whole column so The Inquirer will think it's worth it for me to cover the big out-of-town stories (lol...no seriously)

"The cruelty was the point in 1825. The cruelty is the point in 2025. The day laborers outside Lowe’s just wanting to hammer shingles onto your roof are the modern-day Christians thrown to Bovino’s cowardly lions in a Roman circus for Fox News couch potatoes." @willbunch.bsky.social

The J6 Bombing case: let’s assume the DOJ got the right person and will prove that beyond a reasonable doubt at trial, but until then he is presumed innocent. But let’s assume all that. Are we supposed to just forget that: (cont. 1/3)

"If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter." --Brett Kavanaugh, Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo

well said Senator ~ ... a sub 🧵, note the ellipsis. He sums up the problem on the left with proper distinction. Let us hold up the mirror to ourselves, no?

Seriously. The best case scenario for Pete Hegseth - the absolute BEST case - is that he didn't know about the second strike in advance, reviewed the video, and opted to support a clear war crime. There is no version of these events that leaves him fit for office. Draft articles of impeachment now

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people. He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment. I wish people could finally accept this.

Found this gem in a used bookstore a few years ago. May be time to re-read it.

New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work www.404media.co/chatgpt-spot...

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

Thrilled to announce the publication of our @rooseveltinstitute.org report that uncovers the policy roots of the current crises facing our news, information & communication systems. We argue that media reform must become central to a US pro-democracy movement. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Oh boy. Good luck, Republicans. Trump just f'd you. I love it.

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.

Yes, this is worth listening to. In my very long memory of public affairs, have never heard a public statement by a "president" (a) more alarming in mental health terms, and also (b) more overtly racist and hate-filled. Watch carefully the sycophants around Trump as he rants. They *all* know...
